Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMatthew King-smith is a Senior Robotics Scientist with 11 years of experience applying dynamic multibody modeling and real-time control to spacecraft and robotic manipulators, currently leading advanced work at Titan Robotics in Atlanta. He blends deep academic research—from a PhD in Robotics at Georgia Tech and collaborations with NASA JPL and Aerospace Corporation—with hands-on systems integration, including Speedgoat/Simulink real-time targets, SE(2) air-bearing platforms, and dual-quaternion modeling of multi-body systems. His background spans both algorithmic work (factor-graph optimization, sensor fusion, feedback linearization) and practical implementation in C++, ROS, and control allocation for novel actuators. Unusually, he pairs aerospace-grade research with early-career operational roles (yard foreman, sales/delivery), giving him pragmatic systems-thinking and logistics experience that informs robust experimental hardware development.
